A fine for playing a weakened team and winning would sum this farce up

Bradford subbing their keeper after 1 minute hopefully shows the EFL what the manager's think of this competition too. The final group games could see some hideously low attendances, how many games are between two teams already out?

2 away fans from Accrington Stanely is hugely impressive

Sky are no mugs, they are future-proofing their business with things like NOW TV; that looks like the future of this market, content that can be opted in and out as you please rather than a solid, monthly subscription. If they run something like Now TV properly, then commercially it could make...

To be fair Bradley is a much better choice than Ryan Giggs. Swansea will be ok, I definitely think Hull, Burnley, Middlesborough, Sunderland and us are weaker than them

And the seemingly terrible preparations made by the club themselves?

Not quite sure how Ighalo gets a start ahead of Success. Seems to be living off past glories.

Will post more when I get home but what a crazy silly game that was. Disappointed to throw away a lead twice, some poor defending, Daniels in particular suffered. Personally I'd begin to phase him out for Smith or Ake. A draw was probably fair all in all, Boruc made a few stunning saves whilst...

Our performances against Watford last year we were decent; we probably should have won the home game (Boruc dropping a significant clanger) and had a fair few decent chances at Vicarage Road too. Gomes seems to become inspired when he plays us which is always a frustration. I agree with Mark...

Wish the FA would stop sniffing about for Eddie. Leave him alone he's ours. I would prefer us to go foreign to be honest, when the gold standard here is Pardew and Steve Bruce then we should cast the net wider. personally I think Wenger would be a good shout to try and build something over a...

Please please please can Derby re-appoint Mcclaren? Their capitulation the year we went up took some doing. He'd get a great reception when they visit St. James' Park...

At least at the Emirates there's a ripple of applause every now and then. At West ham they're too busy trying to punch each other.

My total disdain for everything about West Ham's frankly awful new stadium is making me want them to keep imploding, I must admit.

Barkely is tosh, if he wasn't English he'd not be a regular Premier League starter, no chance. Thought we were fantastic today, stand out performance since Newcastle away back in March, or maybe Southampton at home before that. Our intensity and desire was summed up by Harry Arter, who...

Leicester's defending..... Going to struggle at times this season I think; they look so vulnerable.

Yup, last season provides one of my favourite Bournemouth memories. Without that Stanislas goal we would never have gone on to beat Chelsea and Man Utd in the next two weeks. Going to be horribly tough today, Everton have to lose at some stage but for me I just want to see a reaction from...

The problem Jose faces (and he faced at Madrid), is that he thrived at the 'challenger club', the 'everybody is against us' siege mentality. The way he always spun the line that referees were against Chelsea in his first spell was an example of that. He used that to get players running through...

Exactly how and why Hal Robson-Kanu managed to get a contract at a Premier League club.

You should see the reaction from some of our fans, we need to be realistic about going to places like City :crazy:. Monchengladbach are a much better side than us (obviously) and got torn apart there a few days ago. Better teams than us will concede four to this City team in full fight.

The important question: is 'we are Liverpool, tralalalala' the shittest football song in the history of the game?
